Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his good work on the justice committee.
The fact is that the police need time, especially in this electronic age, to put investigational tools together and the information that is required for a warrant.
When we talk about a preservation order, that is only to hold data in place so police forces can then go back to a judge to ask for additional warrants to actually look at it. Otherwise, they are not even looking at it. They are just providing the opportunity to do that.
However, police need that time. In this digital age where everything, as I said in my speech, can be moved in the flash of a light, police officers need to slow it down so they can create the proper evidence and information for the judge to make a good decision on reasonable and probable grounds.
